Private Lessons

For interested parties who cannot fit group lessons into their busy schedules or just prefer one-on-one instruction.  Once registered, an instructor will be assigned and will contact you within 1 week to introduce themselves, discuss what you are interested in learning, and to set up your first lesson. Private lessons will be arranged at a time that fits both yours and your instructors schedules, and may be scheduled anytime the Indoor Pool is open for its normal Lap Swimming and/or Recreational Swimming hours (please see facility schedule for more information).

Packages Available

• 4, 45 Minute Lessons
• 6, 45 Minute Lessons
• 6, 30 Minute Lessons
• 9, 30 Minute Lessons

Access to SRC Facility and Attendance Policy for Private Lessons

In order to gain access into the facility your instructor will meet you in the Front Lobby area (before the turnstiles) to escort you to the SRC Indoor Pool for each lesson.

Instructors will arrive to each arranged lesson 5 to 10 minutes before the scheduled start. If participants do not arrive by the scheduled time, instructors will wait for 15 minutes. In the event that a participant does not attend the scheduled lesson, the instructor will attempt to re-schedule. In the event of a second “No Show,” it will count as an entire lesson.
